The title is misleading. Article says, currently location sharing is a Google Maps feature and it will become a Google Play Services feature, not an Android feature.
Google Play Services is NOT the only way you can use Android.
Please correct me if I'm wrong I haven't used Google Maps nor Play Services for years. MicroG is good enough for me.

It doesn't help much if your cousins signed up with their real name. If you are male, they can figure out your surname even if no close relative submitted samples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surname_DNA_project
I guess they don't disclose it because they change it frequently. If whatever new arm chip became discounted, they just switch to that.
I noticed this a long time ago, Asus did this with their entry level routers frequently, but they at least disclosed it. You had to be careful, the same router with the same name could be totally different inside, only the revision number changed.
Wow, I thought this was created much more later than the siege, but Beham was a contemporary.
While I see DXVK was important, Valve's history with Linux is much older. I would place "anime girl thighs" on the second domino
SteamOS was first released in 2013, just before they released there first hardware running Linux, the duly forgotten Steam Machines in 2015.
but I don’t see how what I am proposing would make things more difficult?
Now when a user reports a troll, the report goes to the moderators of the community. But in special cases the admins of the user instances should deal with banning. So the admins of the community instances have to deal with reports, but the solution is at the hand of the user instance admins. It's the same as dealing with users from other instances, but an edge case.
My recommendations would be something like this: (I'm just a random user, so it's just my point of view)
This would be useful for you and other admins, because you would have to admin much less number of instances. They would be still considered small instances, compared to big one, so you still not at the "too big to fail" level. For users it would help community discovery, there are overlap between followers of similar topics, e.g. I have friends who follow both European football and NBA at the same time, I read both selfhosting related topics and about general tech support, etc...
I don't like this kind of community/user instance because 2 instances have to deal with the same problem. E.g. a rogue user can troll on most community instances until they are banned by their user instance.
The instance fragmentatios is not as big issue as it's quite easy to create new accounts. There was a thread about this some days ago here, I also use different accounts on different instances for different topics.
If a moderator is from a different instance, can they effectively moderate? So isn't it a problem if all moderators would be from different instances?
I remember after the exodus community discovery in Lemmy was hard, and it made sense to create instances like these. But nowadays with Lemmy Explorer and with multiple community promo communities I think it's not really hard to find the topics you are interested in.
Ok, don't get me wrong, thank you for your posts!
I will continue to add some context as previously.
The Claw of Archimedes (Ancient Greek: Ἁρπάγη, romanized: harpágē, lit. 'snatcher'; also known as the iron hand) was an ancient weapon devised by Archimedes to defend the seaward portion of Syracuse's city wall against amphibious assault. Although its exact nature is unclear, the accounts of ancient historians seem to describe it as a sort of crane equipped with a grappling hook that was able to drop and partly submerge an attacking ship down into the water, then either cause the ship to capsize or suddenly let it go altogether. It was dropped onto enemy ships, which would then swing on to defensive forces and destroy them.
[...]
The plausibility of this invention was tested in 1999 in the BBC series Secrets of the Ancients and again in early 2005 in the Discovery Channel series Superweapons of the Ancient World. The producers of Superweapons brought together a group of engineers tasked with conceiving and implementing a design that was realistic, given what is known about Archimedes. Within seven days they were able to test their creation, and they did succeed in tipping over a model of a Roman ship so that it would sink. While this does not prove the existence of the Claw, it suggests that it would have been possible.

To @[email protected]: It would be useful if you would just copypaste some basic info, or a link to wikipedia on posts like this. Not everyone have such a huge knowledge of history like you, some historical context would help understand what exactly visible on the image.
E.g. in this case this image is purely speculation, as we don't have any remains or drawings of these machines to reconstruct it from, only some textual descriptions.
Yes, the overlap between privacy conscious people and deliberately non GMS users are very big.
I read the article because I was interested how they would do it, and how I can disable it. I was just disappointed, that there is no magic, just lazy tech writers are mixing up different things again.
